Meet Kumara...

Kumara (KOO-mah-rah) is a vegetable here, that is comparable to a sweet potato.  With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I am going to attempt to make a sweet potato recipe but substituting kumara instead. 

The low-down on kumara:
-Cultivated in the semi-tropical regions of the North Island, New Zealand
-Traditional food for the native Maoris
-Available in red, orange, and gold


They are gigantic in size, so I figured 2 would be enough.  I am going to get as creative as possible for our Thanksgiving meal and kumara adventure, so stay tuned!
